I love this game. The Graphics are absolutely beautiful, but what type of system do I need to run all graphic settings at their highest? I’m currently running maxed LOD and FOV at full screen. The game is playable at these settings, but my average FPS falls below 30 (most of the time). If I turn on advanced grass the game becomes unplayable.Does this game even utilize SLI? What is the most (cost) effective graphics card(s) that can achieve a playable experience at maximum graphics setting? My sys spec’s are listed below.

The LOD Distance slider feature is one that shouldn't have been added, IMO. With those specs, I cannot run the game with the Advanced Grass feature turned on and LOD set to max without it being a slideshow.

This boils down purely to optimization issues on the dev's end. There is NO ONE who is going to be running this game on "max settings".

Here's a quick video I did showing the framerate change when adjusting the LOD Distance slider and Advanced Grass.

Wow, your right about the LOD setting. I left that at 50% and was (then) able to turn on the advanced grass feature and experience a playable solution. You have some really nice GPU's (not to mention voice). Thank you very much for taking the time to offer some feedback. It was very helpful.

I'll remain optimistic and wait for some added GPU teaks in the programming. At least now others can see that lower based GPU's such as mine should also be able to handle the task.
